engine ticking after starter replacement

85 F250 4x4 4.9L

Went to start truck, just clicked. Replaced solenoid, same problem...Started banging on starter and finally turned over. Bad starter, no problem got that changed and while I was at it, saw a really bad negative cable coming off the battery. Changed that out as well. Now when I start the truck, I get a tick that I have never had before. Is it related to changing the starter and or the negative cable? Sounds like a lifter knock possibly?

Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated.

Check your exhaust manifold. A buddy of mine told me that it was my exhaust making the ticking noise (because of a leak). This on a brand new motor with 14k miles on it.
